Ingredients
Scale
Egg Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and spinach), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes for flavor
Pittas
- 4 pitta bread pockets
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and finely chop the mixed vegetables of your choice like bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and spinach to create a colorful and nutritious filling.
- Cook the filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Beat the eggs in a bowl, season with salt, pepper, and optional spices, then pour over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently and cook until the eggs are fully set and slightly golden, about 4-5 minutes.
- Warm the pittas: While the filling is cooking, warm the pitta bread in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes until soft and pliable.
- Stuff the pittas: Cut the warmed pitta breads open carefully to create pockets. Spoon the cooked egg and vegetable mixture into each pitta pocket evenly.
- Serve: Serve the egg and veggie pittas immediately while warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetable filling based on seasonal produce or personal preference.
- Adding herbs like parsley or chives can enhance flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with scrambled tofu.
- Pitta breads can be warmed in a microwave for about 20 seconds if short on time.
- Serve with hot sauce or yogurt dip if desired for extra taste.
